System and method to remotely provision out-of-band system
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory medium coupled to the processor;
wherein the memory medium stores instructions executable by the processor and as the processor executes the instructions, the system;
creates a task configured to configure an out-of-band system of an unconfigured information handling system;
discovers, via a network, a first plurality of configured information handling systems;
discovers, via the network, a second plurality of unconfigured information handling systems that include a respective plurality of out-of-band systems operable to perform the task independently of respective main processors; and
provides, via the network, the task to the respective plurality of out-of-band systems of the second plurality of unconfigured information handling systems.

Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create a task configured to configure an out-of-band system of an unconfigured information handling system and discover configured information handling systems and unconfigured information handling systems that include respective out-of-band systems operable to perform the task independently of respective main processors. The one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may provide, via a network, the task to the respective out-of-band systems of the unconfigured information handling systems. In one or more embodiments, the one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create another task configured to unconfigure the out-of-band system that was configured via the task configured to configure the out-of-band systems and may provide, via the network, the other task to at least one information handling system that was provided the task configured to configure the out-of-band system.
